In this lesson, I’m using the open E blues scale to show you a progressive series of exercises that build smoother movement, better rhythm, and more confidence when you improvise.
The goal isn’t just to run up and down a scale. Once these patterns get into your muscle memory, you can use pieces of them between the blues licks you already know and start creating smoother, more connected solos.
